Elon Musk sets the stage on fire after showing dance moves with a Tesla robot.
Tesla CEO dances with humanoid Optimus Robot after the most significant pay award in history paves the way for him to become the world’s first trillionaire.
The tech boss took to the stage and danced with robots after shareholders in Texas voted 75% in favour of the deal.
Elon Musk is just one step closer to becoming the world's first trillionaire with a significant pay plan in hand and an eye on a future run by robots.
Musk's fortune may soon stretch into uncharted territory.
The Tech giant secures a record-breaking $1 trillion pay package from Tesla, the largest corporate deal in history.
Footage from the annual meeting showed a smiling Musk mirroring the robot’s moves as the crowd chanted, “Elon! Elon! Elon!”
The spectacle capped a dramatic week for Tesla, whose investors defied opposition from major funds and corporate governance watchdogs to hand Musk a deal that could double his stake in the company.
To cash in, he must grow Tesla’s market value from $1.4 trillion to $8.5 trillion, sell 20 million cars, and deploy a million robotaxis and humanoid robots over the next decade.
Calling the meeting a "banger" Musk told shareholders after the vote, "I super appreciate it."
The billionaire, already worth just under $500 billion, has called Tesla’s humanoid robot programme the company’s “infinite money glitch."
Musk claims the Optimus line could one day "eliminate poverty" and even perform "complex surgery."
“I think there could be tens of billions of Optimus robots out there,” said Musk.
Supporters also see the deal as a bet on Musk’s vision to transform Tesla from a car manufacturer into an artificial intelligence and robotics empire.
